Artist B. Borkur Eiriksson's scifi and fantasy illustrations are imbued with a palette and lighting approach evocative of J.M.W. Turner; and his brushtrokes bear the hallmarks of gritty, sobering American Ashcan art from the 1890’s. Eiriksson’s work imagines the grim realities of a dystopian future or a medieval past, where environment and characters are rendered in existentialist digital brushtrokes. At times bordering on abstraction, his work tells its story parsimoniously; his style is well-suited to his role at CCP Games as art director.

Eiriksson is an accomplished artist with specialization in areas of digital painting and concept art. He holds a BA in Illustration from Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam (2004) and has created art for EVE Online, World of Darkness and Dust 514. A panel awarded Eirksson with his inclusion in the Into the Pixel Collection in 2007. As Art Director of CCP Games, Eiriksson currently lives and works in Reykjavik, Iceland.
